...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party.... The deal is the latest in a series of US-mediated agreements between Israel and the Moslem world.
White House officials told Rooters that Trump sealed the deal in a phone call on Thursday to Morocco’s King Mohammed VI. Trump then hailed the agreement on Twitter as a "massive breakthrough for peace in the Middle East."
Unlike some of the Arab states, the North African nation, considered to be part of the Greater Middle East, was not technically at war with Israel. However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them...
it has not openly acknowledged the existence of the Jewish state until now. Despite its public position of non-acknowledgement, Morocco secretly communicated with Israeli intelligence at several decisive moments during Israel’s conflicts with its Arab neighbors.
Under the new agreement, Morocco and Israel will establish full diplomatic relations and airline connections with each other, and "promote economic cooperation," White House adviser Jared Kushner told Rooters.
In signing the US-brokered deal, Morocco follows in the footsteps of the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Sudan in establishing relations with Israel.
Prior to the deal, some Moroccan commentators wrote off rumors of an agreement as far-fetched, in light of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Paleostine, and what one Moroccan journalist called his country’s "dedication to the Paleostinian cause." Morocco also saw mass protests against Trump’s Middle East peace plan in February 2020, which they view as tilted against Paleostine.
